Our Hot Rod client has some default configurations which are absurd:

socket timeout: 60 seconds
connection timeout: 60 seconds
retries: 10
min_evictable_idle_time: 30 minutes
all of the above are too high

I suggest the following defaults instead:

socket timeout: 2 seconds
connection timeout: 2 seconds
retries: 3
min_evictable_idle_time: 3 minutes
